So proud to highlight one of the very best in the ophthalmology field right here in Pittsburgh! We’re so grateful for you, Dr. Keller! 🎉🐾

Meet Rachel Keller Vaughan, DVM, DACVO, a dedicated leader of our ophthalmology services at our three BluePearl Pittsburgh hospitals for the past 20 years! 👁️✨

Dr. Keller Vaughan chose ophthalmology because it perfectly blends intricate medicine with advanced surgery, allowing her to treat a vast variety of species. As the director of our internship committee and a residency mentor, she enjoys teaching the next generation of veterinarians and believes Pittsburgh is the perfect place to learn due to the wide variety of specialties.

As part of the region's multispecialty hospital system, Dr. Keller Vaughan loves the deeply collaborative culture that BluePearl offers. Especially with ophthalmology routinely working with all specialties within the hospital. She shared, “I am there to help the ophthalmic emergencies from the ER service or work on an in-house consult for neurology because I know that I can lean on them for supporting my patient care when needed. If you love a collaborative environment, you will thrive in Pittsburgh. Many of the clinicians at our hospital have been with us for 10–20 years. We stay here for a reason and it's the fantastic quality of care we can provide our patients."

Whether you are looking to learn from or collaborate with a deeply experienced medical team, our Pittsburgh hospitals provides the ultimate community to grow your career.

🐾 Donor Spotlight: Sirius 🩸
We’d like to give a special thank you to Sirius, an incredible blood donor who recently helped save a life during his donation visit. He was the perfect patient from start to finish!
A big shout-out as well to Dr. Hughley, who went above and beyond, returning home during her shift to bring Sirius in so he could donate. This kind of dedication and compassion truly makes a difference.
Thanks to Sirius and Dr. Hughley’s generosity, a life was saved. 💙

Nancy Drew – An Escape Artist 🐾

True to her name, Nancy Drew has always had a knack for disappearing.

The other week, this tiny girl showed up on BluePearl’s North property, and from the moment we saw her, we knew she belonged to someone. Sweet, scrappy and just a little mysterious, we made it our mission to uncover her story and find her way home.

What we discovered was more than we could have imagined…

After a year and a half of being missing, Nancy Drew was reunited with her family!

Chris rescued Nancy Drew about a year before she went missing—tiny, malnourished and fighting lungworm, but full of spirit. Over time, she formed a deep bond with Chris’s one-eyed cat, Jerry, and the two became inseparable.

Then one day, Nancy Drew escaped.

Chris searched tirelessly, holding onto hope even as time passed.

Then just days before Nancy Drew was found, Chris’s brother passed away. Chris believes, in some way, he helped guide Nancy Drew back home.

Today, she is safe and appears to be in good health.

This was a story of resilience, love and connection, and one we won’t soon forget!
❤️✨
